Commitment to Diverse Perspectives

ACOG is committed to incorporating diverse perspectives within each session and across the entire conference. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to the success of the ACSM. Incorporating the voices of those underrepresented in medicine helps to build an inclusive ACOG community filled with creative perspectives and professional experiences. ACOG is seeking proposals that feature topics addressing issues related to diversity and equity as well as sessions that have diverse speaker representations
